So after pushing Racing92 for the majority of the game last week, the Ospreys begin preparation for their trip to the North West to face the Sale Sharks. News has just broken of the Wales 6 Nations Squad and someone said that the 8 named Ospreys should not play this match as they would not feature against Edinburgh in a week's time. Now while that is fine in theory, the very short turnaround will mean that probably all 8 of them will feature in some capacity against Sale.
I think the 23 will look something like...
N Smith G Thomas D Lake E Taione T Francis T Botha/M Fia A Beard R Davies W Griffiths J Morgan E Roots M Morris S Cross
R Webb RMW G Anscombe J Thomas A Cuthbert O Watkin M Collins L Morgan M Protheroe K Williams
Discuss.
Just as a point of discussion these players were not available for the match on Saturday - Nagy, Cuthbert, North, Watkin, Giles, Anscombe, Webb, J Morgan, W Griffiths, Lydiate, R Davies, AWJ, Francis, Parry, G Thomas plus B Davies, J Tipuric and Myler. A team that would be competitive in any competition was not available.
